to your toddler is vital for vocabulary development, early literacy skills and

books that just sit on your shelves. In many instances, less books on
your child’s bookshelves, means more reading.

Reading

teacher and Reading specialist, now stay-at-home mom to three little ones, I am

Are you looking for top educational products for your school or home? I had the chance this past weekend to attend EDExpo2015 in Atlanta. While there I visited each of the vendors exhibits to see the largest selection of education products and resources. Yeap, you guessed it, I was pretty much in teacher heaven.

#EDexpo2015 connected buyers and sellers to the largest and most comprehensive distribution network. It is a yearly event for members of EDMarket, focused on retailers locating items to purchase products for their local stores from the manufacturers. Plus they added special sessions for principals, school administrators and curriculum directors to the EDexpo Leadership Institute too.
